Unfortunately it implies a tendency towards stalemate, unless Russia experiences a political collapse.

Ukraine has no Navy as of today, while they do have an Air Force. That means the comparison isn't particularly apt - for a nation with no Navy, Ukraine is having a lot of success sinking or disabling high value naval targets.
I am waiting for the first news of a russian submarine promoted to a dive site.

Note among previous targets there were Chongar bridge, Crimea bridge, Dzhankoi railway hub. Ukraine seems to be consistently executing a plan, in this case severing Russian logistics for the southern group. The ships were a logical replacement for these bridges and now they aren't :)

Denial typically is easier than control in any domain, because control requires ability to prevent any disruptive action. Even in the land war, which favors the defender, if success is measured by ability to perform strikes, no minefield or trench line can control artillery.
